DANIEL
FAITHFUL IN EXILE
“The young exile who wouldn't stop praying.”
MEET DANIEL
Carried captive to Babylon as a teenager, Daniel decided in his heart he would not compromise — not with the king's food, not with the king's idols, not ever.
THE STORY
Daniel served kings for seventy years without losing his integrity. When prayer was outlawed, he opened his windows toward Jerusalem and prayed anyway — three times a day, like always. God shut the mouths of lions and showed Daniel visions of a coming everlasting Kingdom.
